Abstract: A system may use multiple speech interface devices to interact with a user by speech. All or a portion of the speech interface devices may detect a user utterance and may initiate speech processing to determine a meaning or intent of the utterance. Within the speech processing, arbitration is employed to select one of the multiple speech interface devices to respond to the user utterance. Arbitration may be based in part on metadata that directly or indirectly indicates the proximity of the user to the devices, and the device that is deemed to be nearest the user may be selected to respond to the user utterance.

Abstract translation: 系统可以使用多个语音接口设备通过语音与用户交互。 语音接口设备的全部或一部分可以检测用户话语，并且可以发起语音处理以确定话语的含义或意图。 在语音处理中，采用仲裁来选择多个语音接口设备中的一个以响应用户话语。 仲裁部分地可以部分地基于直接或间接地指示用户与设备的接近度的元数据，并且可以选择认为最接近用户的设备来响应用户的话语。
